Patent 11276229 was granted and assigned to Hover on March, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The scale of modeled building objects from collected imagery is determined by identifying architectural elements within building object imagery, determining a scale of the identified architectural elements by matching them to known industry standard architectural element based on dimensional ratio comparisons and deriving an average scaling factor based on scale of the identified architectural elements. A three dimensional model of the building object is scaled according to the average scaling. Scaled architecture elements within a relative error can be used for scaling the model according to an updated scale factor.
